GETTING TO KNOW YOUR RINO 130

The Rino 130 (Radio Integrated with Navigation for

the Outdoors) is a 7.6 ounce, 12 channel GPS-enabled

handheld device. It has integrated radio functionality to

provide two-way communications for up to two miles

using 14 FRS (Family Radio Service) channels. The Rino

130 also provides 8 high-performance GMRS (General

Mobile Radio Service) channels and 8 GMRS repeater

channels (U.S. versions only) for up to ﬁve miles.

GMRS repeater channels are not approved for use by the

Canadian government, so they are disabled on Rino 130

units sold in Canada.

You can keep track of up to 50 contacts from Rino users.

The Rino 130 can store up to 500 waypoints with a

10-character name and graphic symbol. The active track

log stores up to 10,000 points and allows you to save up

to 20 tracks with 250 points per track. The Rino 130 has

seven buttons that allow the user to quickly access all of

the unit’s functions. The Rino 130 has a 160 X 160 pixel,

4-level gray monochrome display for easy viewing.

The unit contains built-in cartography of a North

American basemap that includes Interstate and State

Highways and Exit Information. Using MapSource

®

,

Garmin’s map data software (not included), the Rino 130

could display up to 24 MB of a variety of different map

information. We currently offer several mapping options

that are compatible with the Rino 130 including our

MetroGuide, Topo, Fishing Hot Spots, and BlueChart

®

data. Check your local dealer or the Garmin Web site

(www.garmin.com) for a complete listing of MapSource

products.

Garmin designed your Rino 130 with you, the user, in

mind. The Rino 130 is

waterproof to IPX7 standards and

is rugged enough to endure the most trying use. Garmin’s

friendly user interface allows you to start navigating with

your new GPS in no time. Your Rino 130 can provide one

more critical beneﬁt: peace of mind. With your Rino 130

you know where you are, where you’ve been, and where

you’re going. And since you’ll always know the way back

home, you can concentrate on what you set out to do;

explore the great outdoors.

UNIT OPERATION

Radio Page

The Radio Page is the ﬁrst of the default Main Pages.

This page provides the user interface for FRS (Family

Radio Service) and GMRS (General Mobile Radio

Service) radio operations. Garmin Rino units work

with 3rd party FRS/GMRS radios, provided the other

radios use standard FRS/GMRS frequencies. To take full

advantage of the Rino features, communicate with other

Rino users.

The Radio Page also provides access to the Weather

Radio, which provides a constant update of current

weather conditions. The Weather Alert feature further

enhances the Weather Radio by automatically notifying

you of any weather alerts, even when the Weather Radio

is not is use and the FRS/GMRS radio is in use! These

features are helpful while outdoors or planning a road

trip.

Also use this page to control and setup the radio, view

current settings and see informational graphics of the

unit’s operation.

Radio Page

Initializing the Rino 130

To take full advantage of all of the Rino 130 features,

the GPS receiver must be initialized. The initialization

process allows the Rino 130 to receive and store satellite

information and begin using the satellites for navigation.

Initialization is automatic, should only take a few

minutes, and only needs to be done the ﬁrst time the unit

is used.

130 Owner’s Manual

UNIT OPERATION > RADIO PAGE

Setting the Channel and Squelch Code

The Rino 130 has a total of 22 channels (not including

GMRS repeater channels) and 38 squelch codes to select

from using the Channel and Code ﬁelds. Channels 1–14

are for FRS, 15–22 are for GMRS channels (disabled

by default in U.S. units), and 15R–22R are for GMRS

repeater channels (U.S. units only, disabled by default).

To communicate with other Rino and FRS/GMRS users,

you must be on the same channel and squelch code.

Garmin Rino units work with 3rd party FRS/GMRS

radios, provided the other radios use standard FRS/

GMRS frequencies. A chart of Rino frequencies may be

found in the “Appendix.”

Squelch codes allow you to hear calls from only speciﬁc

persons. Thirty-eight (38) Squelch Codes (called

Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System or

CTCSS)

allow your Rino 130 to ignore unwanted calls from other

persons using the same channel. Simply select the same

squelch code (number) as selected by the other person(s)

with which you will communicate.

Select from FRS 1–14, GMRS 15–22

(with GMRS enabled), and 15R–22R

GMRS repeater channels (with GMRS

and Repeater Channels enabled).

NOTE: Squelch codes do not cause your conversa-

tion to be private. They only allow you to ﬁlter out

other users on the same channel, so you only hear

the radios you want to hear. Squelch Codes are not a

scrambling system!

Rino

®

130 Owner’s Manual 11

UNIT OPERATION > RADIO PAGE

Setting the squelch code to 0 (squelch code off) allows

you to hear all activity on the selected channel, but

you must be set to the same squelch code as the other

person(s) to transmit back. See the “Appendix” for a table

listing all of the 38 Squelch Codes and their frequencies.

As you change the main channels, the Rino 130

remembers the last channel/squelch code combination

that you were using. For example, you may set the unit

channel to 5 and squelch code to 21, then change the

main channel to 8 and squelch code to 2. If you change

the channel back to 5, the squelch code changes back to

its previous setting of 21. See the “Appendix” for more

information on FRS/GMRS and its operational aspects.

Choose from 38 squelch codes. Setting

the unit to zero will allow you to hear all

transmissions on that channel, but you must

be on the same squelch code to radio back.

To change the Channel and/or Squelch Code:

1. Using the Thumb Stick, highlight the Channel or

Code ﬁeld and then press the Thumb Stick In to

show a list of available channels/squelch codes.

2. Move the Thumb Stick Up or Down to scroll

through the selections. Because not all the items

ﬁt in the window, a slider bar on the right side

indicates your current position in the list.

3. Once you have highlighted the desired selection,

press the Thumb Stick In.

12 Rino

®

130 Owner’s Manual

UNIT OPERATION > RADIO PAGE

Scanning and Monitoring

The Scan option allows you to scan through the available

channels for voice activity. As the unit scans and

receives a signal (or if you transmit), it stops on that

channel/squelch code for a few seconds, then continues

scanning. When the Rino 130 is scanning and it receives

an incoming signal, the Rino 130 automatically decodes

the Squelch Code used by the incoming signal. The Rino

130 then uses that Squelch Code when it transmits back

to that unit.

You may use the Set Scanlist option to pick which

channels/squelch codes to scan. Scanning through the

all the channels can take time: Selecting only speciﬁc

channels/squelch codes decreases the scan time and

helps prevent the chances of missing a transmission.

The Scanlist also has Option Menu choices to

Scan Current Codes or Scan All Codes. Choosing Scan

Current Codes scans only the Channel and Squelch Code

combination in memory.

The Monitor option lets you listen to a single channel

for any activity, including static and weak voice signals.

The Rino series automatically squelches a frequency

to ﬁlter out unwanted noise. Using the Monitor option

temporarily turns off the automatic squelch, allowing you

to hear the open channel. If you see a broken transmission

symbol (see page 18), there is activity on your selected

channel, but the incoming signal does not match the

Squelch Code your unit is using. You may choose to

monitor a channel if you wish to hear all the activity on a

channel.

To scan or monitor a channel(s):

1. Using the Thumb Stick, highlight the Scan or

Monitor button and then press the Thumb Stick

In. Scan starts searching through the available

channels. Monitor opens the channel to listen to

any radio transmissions on that channel.

2. To stop using either option, highlight the button

with the Thumb Stick and press In.
